According to the conflict perspective, social institutions promote social inequality and the status quo for the benefit of certain populations and conversely, for the disadvantage of others. Demographic trends refer to patterns of change that pertain to populations within society which may reflect systems of inequality perpetuated by social institutions. 

Task

For this discussion, identify demographic trends that reflect inequality or disadvantage in education, religion, or family. 

Using GALILEO, search for academic, credible sources that include statistical data to support structural inequalities and provide examples of social policies for social change or corrective action.

Using the statistical data, interpret the impact of demographic trends on disadvantaged populations and reflect on the social institutions of education, religion, or family.

  • Answer the following discussion prompts for only ONE of the social institutions with a minimum of 250 words:
  • Education: How do demographic trends shape educational outcomes?
  • How does race, gender, or social class influence achievement scores, dropout rates, or graduation rates?

Based on demographics, which populations have lower educational outcomes? Why?

How does the educational institution perpetuate social inequality or disadvantage for these populations?

What are some examples of social policies (e.g., grassroots movements, institutional policy, legislative action) that can enact social change?

  • Ask your classmates a question to stimulate discussion.
  • Religion: How do demographic trends shape religious hate crimes?
  • How does race, gender, or social class influence religious hate crimes?
  • Based on demographics, which populations experience higher rates of a religious hate crime? Why?

Elderly Interview Questions

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Please in your own words and make simple. Please don’t use paraphrasing websites and no plagiarism.

Find a friend, neighbor or relative who is over the age of 70 years of age. Interview your subject about his or her life. I would like you to design your own questionnaire (part of the grade).  Be sure you ask questions about all multiple areas of development.  You may want to read ahead in your textbook for question or topic ideas.  Questions on work, leisure, housing, friends, family and finances are good.  Please keep the financial questions general as the intention is not to make anyone feel uncomfortable.  Any topic that is discussed in the textbook may be included. Please have at least 45 questions and better to have more (questions on name, age etc. do not count toward the 45 questions!!) It will be easier and the interview will go faster if you have questions prepared before you start the interview but be flexible so that if a subject comes up you can follow with relevant questions.  Please number each question. I will deduct points if questions are not numbered.

1.  The first paragraph of your write up should include the interviewee’s, first name, age, marital status, and your relationship to the person followed by a physical description including height, build, hair color, appearance etc. 

2.  The second paragraph of your write up should describe the living environment of the individual.  Do they live in a single family dwelling, apartment, nursing home etc?  Do they live by them self or with a spouse or family member? Are there barriers to them living in the home (stairs, dangerous clutter etc.)?

Write the interview in narrative form:

You: What changes have you noticed in your body in the last ten years?

George: Well, I have noticed that I can’t see as well as a use to and I am out of breath more easily when I walk. (etc.)

When you finish your narrative, I would like you to apply the interview to chapter information, considering all areas discussed and dividing the information by subjects in the textbook. Use subheadings.  You must cover a minimum of 3 concepts (terms) per chapter and you must use at least 4 different chapters (your choice).  That means a minimumof 12 concepts!!  Please “bold” the concept names in the body of the paper. I will deduct points if subheadings and bolding of concepts are not included.

At the end, tell me what you learned from this interview about being in late adulthood and the aging process.

Richland Community College John F Kennedy History Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

John F. Kennedy’s presidency is seen as lost potential and a modern-day Camelot. Is that a fair assessment, considering his accomplishments, mistakes, and policies, or is JFK’s legacy overblown? Why?(300 words)

Remember to respond to two (2) other classmates. Let’s have a lively discussion!(100 words each)

angel

Despite his mistakes such as the incident in the Bay of pigs and not doing much for Civil Rights, he still made accomplishments such as having the Soviet Union back away from Cuba and dismantling their missiles; he also continued with the space program and challenged NASA to send a man on the moon. Furthermore, he gaved a raise in minimum wage, while it was not much it was still better; he also gave us peace corps, which is still around today. In my thoughts, he accomplished a lot and did many things in just three years. I woud say that if he were still around and had the chance to be reelected again, he would of continued making changes, hopefully good ones, but sadly, we won’t ever know.

rudy de

I do see why John F. Kennedy’s presidency was seen as a modern-day camelot. I wouldn’t say that his presidency was lost potential. It was devestating knowing that JFK was assasinated. JFK accomplished many things during and after his presidency. He managed to improve the U.S. economy (known as “New Frontier”). He also established Peace Corps, this program allowed American volunteers to help out underdeveloped countries with education and much more. JFK being the youngest person to be president in the U.S. helped people feel more connected towards the presidency. John F. Kennedy accomplish so much for himself at a young age, and all of it was out of being selfless. He became president of the U.S.A at the young age of 43, he was awarded the Navy and Marine Coprs Medal, and he made sure everyone got the help they needed even in other countries ( like I previously stated). His potential was not lost and here is why. Even though he unfortunately did die, JFK shaped the way the country viewed presidents for the future. The people will never forget his selfless actions, and they will feel more encouraged to listen to what younger people have to say as far as making laws for the country. His legacy in my opinion will never be overblown, he did so much for the people around him and for the future of our country.

EAU Art Space Art Essay

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

OBJECTIVE: Select one work of space art from a particular genre, period, or culture, and adapt it to your own new work using the conventions of another genre, period, or culture (for example, film to painting, or mid-century to Pre-Raphaelite).

Your supporting essay should detail the characteristics of the original work and its aesthetic-historical-cultural context in relation to the themes and issues of space art more generally.

You should then compare the characteristics of your work to the original, explaining why you made the decisions you did based on the aesthetic-historical-cultural characteristics of the genre, period, or culture you chose.

Finally, explain how your original work reflects the themes issues and history of space art you discussed and how it fits into our growing understanding of space art as a genre.

WRITING TASKS:  As you prepare your essay, think about the following:

First, include a thesis that makes an arguable claim about what space art is and why it is important in your introduction.

After that, provide a brief history and description of space art and it primary purposes and characteristics. This history should include discussion of major figures and phases in space art that support the claim you made in your thesis.

Then, introduce your original work. What is it called? What form does it take? What genre does it belong to? Who created it? When? Why?

Consider the original work through the lens of the history and characteristics you have provided. How does it reflect what you have told us about space art? Where and how does it fit into space art’s history?

  • Describe the original work in detail. What does it look like? How was it made? Does it conform to the expected conventions of the form and genre or does it break boundaries? How or why?
  • Next, go further in analyzing the original work. Look at it both artistically and historically. Break down its elements and explain how they work together and what messages they convey.
  • Finally, describe your remake/adaptation of the original work. What form and genre did you choose? When was that genre most popular? What are the conventions of the form and genre you chose?
  • Explain why you made the artistic choices you did given the form and genre you selected. How do they conform (or not conform) to the form and genre you chose?
  • What did you learn about both the original artwork and your selected form or genre through trying to remake the work?
